9/6/08 They say the early Bird catches the worm, or in fishing terms it's the early fly that catches a specimen Sea trout and that is exactly what Mr Alcester Martin of Inverness Scotland did, when he caught himself a 6.5lbs Sea trout on a Dark Mackerel early this morning and in the trolling department all quiet on the SW front. Wind SW then veered NW light to fresh and overcast, max air temperature 18.9C/66.02F 10/6/08 to day was a perfect example of why Co Kerry is a good sporting destination and my reason why, there isn't many places where you can catch a Salmon in the morning then try for a hole in one in the afternoon and that is exactly what two Anglers from the USA did, fishing with their gillie Mr Michael O'Sullivan of Waterville Boats and @ lobsterb@iol.ie well put it this way they got the first part right, where the hole in ones is concerned I will leave that to your imagination, also in good form were guests fishing with their Gillie Mr Frank Donnelly of WWW.Lakelandshouse.com when they caught a Grilse on the troll, there was also another Grilse taken on the troll by Mr Sylvester Donnelly and on the Butler Pool Mr Mike O'Dwyer caught a Grilse on the fly. Wind NW light to fresh, max air temperature 16.7C/66.06F with reasonable cloud cover. 11/6/08 Mr Sylvester Donnelly, hit's the head line again in the salmon department when he caught a 7lbs on the troll in Edere Bay, on the sea trout front Mr James Hinchly of the UK caught two fine Sea Trout of which the biggest weighed in at 5lbs and I see on WWW.loughcurrane.com our Manger Mr John Murphy has reported that an angler in a hired out boat, caught a Sea Trout in the 3lbs class, plus there were few more Sea Trout taken by other anglers. Wind NW light to fresh and overcast, amount of rain fall 0.7mm,max air temperature 16.1/60.98F. 12/6/08 All quiet on the SW front. Wind NNE light with reasonable cloud cover but with all that my noble Game Fish wouldn't contact fly or lure. Amount of rainfall 0.1mm,max air temperature 16.1C/60.98F. 13/6/08 Much of the same today as yesterday so the least said the soonest mended, wind NNE max air temperature 15.3C/59.54F and personally I am glad because today was a special day for my Father who reached the grand age of 80 and who I might add has fished the Waterville Fishery for 45 years and I can tell you he has the record for the Inny and Butler Pool which he has had for over 40 years and as one Fishery Officer from Galway asked? your not the Famous Appleby that fished out of the Butler Arms Hotel in the sixties and seventies? and my Father replied, Guilty as Charged and on that note here is to the next eighty years. 14/6/08 There was a fine Grilse caught on the troll and sportingly put back by Mick from Cork, in the Sea trout department I didn't here of any real rod benders, even though I am sure there were a few sea trout caught on the drift because at times the conditions weren't bad. Amount of rainfall 0.1mm,max air temperature 16.7C/62.06F. 15/6/08 What can I say? Not a lot in the Salmon department but at least Mr Mike O'Dwyer and Family caught a few nice Sea trout on the troll along the north shore. Wind NNE light then veered N late in the afternoon light to fresh with reasonable cloud cover. Amount of rain fall 0.1mm, max air temperature 15.6C/60.08F. That is all the news from your gillie and the Waterville Fishery. No Spin no fly's just Facts.
